Vendor Spotlight {Byrne-Reed House}

I recently had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the Byrne-Reed House in heart of downtown. This stunning 100 year old restored mansion is Austin's newest event facility & is available for weddings, showers, parties, & meetings. Built in 1907 at the corner of 15th & Rio Grande the house is an Austin gem & has been fully restored to it's original glory. In the 1970s it was wrapped in a stucco facade which completely entombment the original house (see pictures below) making it impossible to know that just under the surface was a gorgeous mansion which was hidden for almost 40 years! The Humanities Texas foundation carefully & lovingly restored every detail of this priceless Austin landmark. Many of the features such as the flooring & windows are original to the house being perfectly preserved under the 70's stucco facade. When you see the before & after photos it's truly amazing, the Byrne-Reed House is like a beautiful butterfly that has been released from it's cocoon. Stepping into this mansion is like stepping back in time, it's absolutely stunning & one of a kind.
